Manga Character Mai Natsume Coming to BlazBlue: Central Fiction

When BlazBlue: Central Fiction hits home consoles later this year, it will include characters not in the original arcade release. We’ve already seen the first of these characters: Es, heroine of the BlazBlue spinoff Xblaze: Code Embryo. Now, yet another spin-off character is joining the game’s cast.

In this week’s issue of Famitsu, Arc System Works has confirmed that Mai Natsume will be joining the game’s cast as one of these extra fighters. Hailing from the manga spin-off BlazBlue: Remix Heart and its sequel, Variable Heart, Mai previously made a non-playable appearance in the story mode of BlazBlue: Chronophantasma EXTEND.

Additional details about Mai have yet to be shared. In the meantime, check out the preview of the Famitsu issue and some images of Mai in the gallery below.
